# Internal Server Error caused by function.php ? (Bluehost)

 * I’m new to WordPress and in the process of building my first site using the Hueman
   Theme, great theme by the way!
 * My site is hosted at Bluehost and I’ve been creating a child theme there. I copied
   the .php files into my hueman-child folder for editing and then got an “Internal
   Server Error” on my site.
 * By process of elimination, copying the .php files one by one, I found that “function.
   php” is what sets it off.
 * If I copy it over, the site goes down, if I delete it again then the site is 
   back to normal.
 * Is there anything in that file that could be causing the error?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * That’s the issue right there. You don’t copy the entire functions.php to the 
   child theme; that file is load differently from the rest.
 * Your child theme’s functions.php will load in addition to the parent theme’s 
   functions.php. Again, it doesn’t overwrite its parent; it loads in addition to
   the parent theme’s functions.php.
